I hope the site improvements address the major map personalization issue I’ve been experiencing.

Well I must say that I’m VERY disappointed in the new upgrade to Geocaching .com… WHy? ‘Cos its SLOW; the problems of the find icons has not been sorted out; I could draw by hand the beta maps quicker than they come from the web site.. No – NOT impressed one bit.

I think the new layout and design is great. The only thing I could complain about is that the profile page has not been touched, it has a confusing layout. For example, finding pocket queries, bookmarks, etc is difficult due to the illogical layout of that content. I consider myself a savvy web user and find myself sometimes confused. Hope this helps in further development of the site.

5 Stars from me. I have sent a couple of critique emails to you in the past 2 weeks about the current poor state of the maps and loss of smilies etc, but now the new site is live, 5 stars from me..speed alone is vastly improved…oh, and im still using original maps..far better, easier, works in all browsers, allows you to load to gps directly from the google map bubble..

A very nice update, but where is the map Gallery with my pictures?

Just want to put my 2 cents worth in. I also would like the smilies back on the google maps, I also miss the home location, and caches near you features.
